At our own vacation rentals by owner advertising website, <a href="http://www.findvacationrentals.com" rel="nofollow">FindVacationRentals.com</a>, we are going to release two new pretty important features around this that will allow our vacation rentals owners to not only display a Google map on there listing, but also add their own reviews of local restaraunts, beaches, and other attractions. Any review content that the vacation rental owner adds will show up on their own personal Google map that will be attached to their listing on <a href="http://www.findvacationrentals.com" rel="nofollow">FindVacationRentals.com</a>. The map will show how close the owner’s vacation rental is to the local attractions highlighted, and provide driving directions as well. And, no advertisements will be added in :-) In order for the map to display properly, the vacation rental owner will need to provide his or her address to the property. Some owners have been hesitant to do this for understandable reasons, but, in this day and age, its just too easy to find an address if you really want it, so I say why not make it as easy as possible for the renters to pick your vacation rental over anyone elses.
